Yes, it shouldn't take a C-suite level decision to remove content praising Hitler and the Holocaust. The fact that it does suggests there is major disfunction in X/Twitter's approach to content moderation, which the article hints at but doesn't really explain.

Musk made it that way

Did he make it that way specifically for Hitler?

He's a "free speech absolutist". Unless the speech offends him.
